The Notre Dame defensive line returns three starters from last season, and that's the number they need as the defense shifts to a ‘3-4' front. As the Irish staff searches for depth along the line, nose guard Sean Cwynar has emerged not only as a backup to Ian Williams, but as a player that will challenge for the starting spot.

Sean Cwynar has taken very well to the coaching change and he's enjoying the intensity brought by the new staff. A big part of his development has been the relationship he has with defensive line coach Mike Elston, defensive coordinator Bob Diaco and strength and conditioning coach Paul Longo. Cwynar spoke with the media shortly after Friday's practice about his motivation and his development leading up to the first week of fall camp.
